Round 2 ...FIGHT!

Well, it's Street Fighter month and I finally gotthe much anticipated Street Fighter 2 issue 0 comic from Udon after they went on a break after Street Fighter issue #14. Some great stuff here as we get a bit of a recap and a little more development on Ryu. The rest of the issue has interviews of the Udon crew, interview w/ Shoei, a ReyRivalSchool mini (i can't wait for the comic in Dec or Jan) and a Exalted #1 preview. The art for SF has Alvin Lee returning once again (who's my fave Udon artist) w/ colors similar to that of Darkstalkers (which won't return until sometime next year ;_;), giving it the anime feel it deserved from the beginning imo. Anyways, great issue for only 1.99 (though a bit more for me in Can.) As for the rest of the SF stuff on the list (linked above), i'm only gonna get SF Alpha Generations DVD (Oct. 25) despite the bad reviews and crappy art. Though the animation is awesome if you've checked out the trailers and recent clips Manga put out, however, some of the signature moves still have me going WTF?! Aside from that DVD, I plan to get the Sota Fei Long fig cuz FL's my fave SF character. I was planning on picking up the SF vs. Mortal Kombat card game by Score but most of the art is meh or taken from the comic. So yeah, that's all i'm gonna get. November will be awesome though as issue 1 comes out w/ 40 pages. Not only that the poster of the SF2 #0 cover will be out along w/ the Felicia (by Kevin Lau) and Cammy (by Alvin Lee) door posters...i sooo want the cammy one!

anyways, here's SF2 issue 0 that i got today (i bought 2 copies :D) along w/ Scrapped Princess vol.3 LE. I got Sutepri only cuz the comic store mispriced it to 28.99 CDN which is kinda cheap as they had the RE right beside it going for the same price. They only had 1 copy of the LE too, so luckee kee :).

u lucky bastard ^^. i never managed to get the Morrigan one cuz my incentive for it went down after the shop sold it mostly due to my fault as i spent much time debating about getting it ;_;. I will get this Cammy one though!

I'm surprised you didn't get it, considering you were the one who told me about it in the first place. ^_^;;I had mine special ordered by my comic shop, and it came a week after along with the SF panoramic poster (the one with the characters standing/posed against a graffiti wall). ^_^

By the way, managed to pick up the SF0-issue. Definitely sweet. Any news on when DS is continuing again?

yeah, i didn't get it mostly due to lack of funds at the time, plus my room needed some reorganizing first. I'll get it someday...hopefully :).

Erik Ko says that DS will come back early 2006 cuz of their whole self publishing deal. What's also of interest is this past post regarding an anime "Your choice, a monthly comic, or we do an anime every maybe year or 2 but no comic.... I actually wanna know what you guys would prefer. I am serious." However, in the SF2 #0 interview he mentioned no plans for that anymore and is focusing on the comic.
